Abstract:
Two cases of Wilms' tumors in adults are reported according to the criteria defined by Kilton. The study of the literature allows defining the pathogenetic hypothesis for these embryonic tumors, as well as their peculiarities in comparison with those occurring in childhood. The prognosis seems to be improved by an aggressive treatment. A schedule of treatment including initial surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy varying according to the tumoral group (NWTS 2 staging) is proposed.
